# Sharing to a Space

> Getting recordings, transcripts and summaries into the Space folder they belong to

## Two ways to file a meeting

A meeting's output can reach a [Space](/spaces/spaces) either automatically or after the fact.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Set it up front" icon="robot">
    The bot's **Space & folder** setting routes the meeting's output into that folder as soon as it
    exists. Nothing to do afterwards.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Share it afterwards" icon="share-nodes">
    **Share recording** copies whichever assets you choose into a folder you pick, at any time
    after the meeting.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Both put the result in the same place: the Space's **Files → Meetings** tab, under the folder you
chose.

## Setting the destination up front

In [bot settings](/meetings/bot-settings#space--folder), **Choose space & folder** picks where the
meeting's outputs are saved. Set it on:

* A **calendar**, so every meeting on that calendar files to the same place.
* A **single event's bot**, for a one-off.
* An **on-demand bot** — and if you started it from a Space folder, that folder is already filled
  in for you.

This is the better option when meetings map cleanly onto folders you already have — a client, a
project, a recurring engagement.

## Sharing after the fact

Open the recording and press **Share** in its toolbar. The share dialog asks two things.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose what to include">
    Tick the assets you want copied:

    | Asset          | Default                               |
    | -------------- | ------------------------------------- |
    | **Video**      | On, when the recording has video      |
    | **Audio**      | On, when the recording has audio      |
    | **Transcript** | On                                    |
    | **Summary**    | On, when a summary has been generated |

    Assets the recording does not have are not offered. If you want the summary included, generate
    it before sharing — see [Summaries](/meetings/summaries).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the destination">
    Pick a Space and a folder. You must select at least one asset and a destination before
    **Share** will do anything.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Where it lands

Shared files appear under the Space's **Files → Meetings** tab, in the folder you chose. From there
they behave like any other file in a Space — they show in the folder's Overview counts, and they
are reachable by anyone with access to the account.

<Note>
  Sharing **copies** the assets into the Space. The copy is independent of the original recording, so
  deleting the recording afterwards — or letting a timed retention period expire it — does not remove
  what you shared.
</Note>

## Starting a meeting from a folder

The relationship works in both directions. A Space folder's **Meetings** panel has an **Add** menu
with **Add Bot to Meeting**, which opens the on-demand bot form with that folder already set as the
destination. Open the client's folder, send a bot to the call, and the recording comes back to the
folder it came from.
